From what I understand your phone must be completely stock. Even the \boot files. Not sure if it needs to be unrooted as well though.
I'm just going to sit back and wait a few extra days. The devs here are awesome, they'll have it up in no time.

What I want is just an APK of Wallet that I can install on an older ROM.

Not sure it'll work though, even though the GRJ90 update supposedly turned on NFC, this one also has some Android "Security Fixes" that may be necessary for Wallet to work.

i just tested this and it won't work. i backed up wallet with titanium backup and restored on 2.3.5, and it will not even restore.

yeah im sure the "Security Updates" were for google wallet and Im sure the apk checks for those security features before it installs, besides I wouldnt want to install google wallet on a device that doesnt have a specific security update that google released WITH the wallet app, might leave you vulnerable to attack...

yeah.. now the question... do i want to install a stock rom to use google wallet... or go back to cm7 for breakneck speed. decisions decisions..

Don't worry I am sure that CM will bring those updates into the CM7 nightly builds soon.

Probably not the best idea to flash over CM. I've tried matr1x and trinity kernels and they seem fine so far.

Changing build.prop to download app

Hi,
I'm trying to download a game, but I installed ICS (latest kang) and obviously it's thinking I'm running 4.0.1 and the game won't run on this. Is there a way to edit build.prop or any other file so I can buy the game before the rebate ends.
Thanks in advance
EDIT: All I'm trying to know is if it's possible to change a file to make the Market app think I'm running something like 2.3.4 so I can buy the app??

Do a backup in CWM and install a GB rom, buy the app and restore your ICS rom in CWM. The long but sure way to get there..

but make sure u backup the app with titanium before you restore ics. Because still you won't be able to download from market.

Oh well, I thought about that, but I hope there would have been a faster way.
Still thanks everyone

Have you tried to browse to market.android.com on your PC and buy it there? Yesterday I couldn't buy an app on my phone, for me it worked that way.

you're lucky....at least your phone has a reason to think it's not compatible....I'm running stock 2.3.4 and I get that error message for at least 75% of the apps in the market....including gmail, etc. It's obnoxious!!!
Seriously, this isn't even a dump from online or anything...this is my original ROM backup restored via CWM that is doing it.

It thinks you're running 4.0.1? If you are running ICS euroskank kang you ARE running 4.0.1....
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using xda premium

But really, don't use ICS as daily driver, it's way too buggy and slow. Very soon we will have the ICS OTA and then things will be different.. I hope..

Can you explain us a little? What do you mean a backup? You mean the rom zipped where you can flash with Recovery? Yes.

Are you referring to making a nandroid backup in recovery, or backing up the home screens and stuff for your rom from the AOKP settings?

he's most likely looking for the same thing that aokp has in the rom settings... and I do not know the answer to that because I don't do paranoia as it will destroia

Yes. It saves all the paranoid settings for each app. I don't think it backs up home screen layouts though, and it definitely doesn't back up apps or data. Usually I dirty flash updates to Paranoid though, so my home screens and apps aren't touched. I just wipe cache and dalvik, then flash the update and gapps. Then I restore my paranoid settings with the backup that we're talking about.

Make a Nanroid Backup, that will get you backed up everything you need.

Best bet is to install nova launcher or apex launcher, setup your screens how you like them, then back it up in the app. Regardless of what you flash you can restore your layout when you redo the launcher app.

Yes it runs very well. The only time I do a full wipe is when I'm changing ROMs. This strategy has worked well for me so far.

Just did it.. Everything seems to be working OK.. If you do a dirty flash, there really isn't a need to back up anything is there?

Well, like mamba_nz said, a nandroid backup can never hurt. I also use Titanium Backup to back up my apps and data.
But to answer your question, unless something goes wrong, no you shouldn't have a need to back up anything.

Root and install either Clockworkmod or TWRP Recovery following this guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2266654
Before flashing any custom ROM or kernel, make a nandroid backup so you can revert back if the changes cause your phone to crash.

before flashing anything, learn about your device and the basics to modding your device first. or youll soon start a "new user, help me i think i bricked my device" thread.

thanks guys.
run through maybe 5 roms now to find one that works with whatsapp and i like !!!!

They should all work with whatsapp as far as I know. As for liking the ROM that's completely subjective of course. Personally I doubt I could find a ROM that I actually disliked for this phone since the're mostly minor variations from stock and I like stock as well.

my nexus 4 is bricked :(

Hey guys,
I've recently updated to android 4.3
I've installed franco kernel on top of the os and it seems to screw up my phone
the phone restarted and its stuck on the google logo
I've tried to use nexus root toolkit of WUG to install stock + unroot in the soft brick mode
and its still stucked on the google logo
tried factory reset from bootloader and now it tells me I dont have OS hehe
mmm dont know really what to do from here and not sure
I did the above mentioned steps as I should.
I dont have problem to delete everything and to do a factory reset if possible
Also I'd like to have 4.2.2 .. loved it more as I could work with franco kernel
would much appriciate any guidence on to follow up from here
as I am preety lost.
thanks alot mates!

That is soft bricked and there is like a million ways to fix it.
If you want you can sideload a custom rom of your choice or you can just use the Nexus Stock Images which allows you to install 4.2.2 or 4.3.

Choose your android version here, choose the Mako/Occam type.

From the looks of it there is no Fastboot binary in it so you need to copy them over to that folder making sure your in the bootloader and you have drivers.

I had this same issue you had, and I noticed it happened because i was flashing franco kernel for 4.2.2 over JB 4.3
Make sure you are downloading the correct version of franco if you still want his kernel.
